Hi, check the post on Jackson's Crossing and Ira Hurley's death. I was one of his paulbearers. His wife Lela and my great Aunt Etta Robinson Moxley were lifelong friends and I took them from Walnut Springs to Indian Creek cem., Hatchett Cem.(Selden) and Tom Arendell's grave and cabin at Selden, not in Hamilton County as one history book said. Charles Wyly, Johnsville, Selden, and Hewitt, Texas. P.S. "Uncle A" Hurley used to gin his cotton at Kay then Stone Gin at Selden. Jean Wakefield Riggs said he used to stop his cotton wagon and visit with my Great Uncle Bill- William Sevier Wyly, born Blont Co. Tenn or Hiawasse Ga. his great nephew Kevin Woods now lives in the same house, minus the coverred and charcoal filterred rainwater cistern, resembling a well, across the road from our farm. Dad took us to Aunt Mary Hurley's birthday- a barbecue between Elvis Riggs and Ruby Beech Rumph. She, about 80, walked a hundred yards to the tank and told the boys swimming there to put an undershirt over their trunks- they looked naked. They did. We didn't argue with authority figures like the kids I teach today.
